During the most recent legislative session, state Senator Kit Jennings (R-28) of Casper sponsored permitless carry legislation to expand the Right-to-Carry across Wyoming, only to see his hometown now fight to restrict it.

The council will meet at 6:00 p.m. in the Casper City Hall located at 200 North David Street.
